Acting Deputy Principal Ms Rachael Siebuhr

Welcome back – it has certainly been a chilly start to Term 3.

With the gusty winds and lower morning temperatures it is important for all students to remember to wear their school jumpers each day. We have many year levels heading out on excursions and camps over the coming weeks and the correct full school uniform is required on these days. We have a huge mound of named jumpers, hats and other belongings in Lost Property at the moment – please stop by to check if any items can be claimed.

PBL News

Kookie has been extremely busy floating around the school and visiting special events over the last month or so. We will be officially launching Kookie in the coming weeks so please keep an eye out for the date claimer coming soon.

Our staff have developed a series of expectations that they address each week around the themes of being Safe, Respectful, Responsible and Being a Learner. Students are explicitly taught what these expectations mean in different scenarios. This week we are focussed on Being Respectful and Responsible when using the toilets. The key messages include expectations around movement to and from the toilets (ie. go with a buddy, walk straight there and straight back to class), behaviour in the toilets (ie. use the toilet how a toilet is intended to be used, wash hands with soap, dry hand with paper towel, place paper towel in waste bins provided) and be respectful when others are in toilets (ie. waiting patiently).

Kookie’s Walk to School Bus

Next Wednesday sees the maiden voyage of Kookie’s Walk to School Bus. Congratulations to Trey for instigating this great initiative. Our Adopt-A-Cop, Senior Constable Amanda Joy was on hand at this week’s assembly to cover some of road safety rules and is looking forward to jumping on Kookie’s Walking Bus throughout the term. It would be great to get as many parent volunteers as possible to help each week. Please see attached documents for more information.

100 Days of Learning

Later this week the Prep students celebrate 100 days of learning in Prep. We would like to congratulate them on being 100 days smarter and hope they enjoy their celebrations and continue to work hard in class. Well done Preppies!

Typing Club

Are you interested in improving your typing skills? We host a Typing Club every Tuesday morning from 8.15-8.45am in the Computer Lab. Students are to see their class teacher to receive a Typing Club password prior to attending. No need to book in - we would love to see you there.
